H. L. SCHOLL TRUNK HOLDER Filed Jan. 14, 1929 INVENTOR ATTORNEY iiatented Oct. 28, 1930 UNITED STATES HENRY L. SCHOLL, F YAKIMA, WASHINGTON TRUNK HOLDER Application filed January 14, 1929. Serial No. 332,872.

This invention relates tov a holder device which is adapted to be attached to the spare tire of a motor vehicle and which is adapted to support a trunk or the like, the general object of the invention being to provide a frame formed of metal or the like and having an upper part which is adapted to be placed over. the upper part of the spare tire and a horizontal part which acts as a support for the trunk or other object, withva strap for fastening the device to the tire.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the com bination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and speciiically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention indetail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a rear view of an automobile, showing the invention placed on the spare tire thereof.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the device.

Figure 3 is a side view thereof.v

Figure 4 is a perspective view.

. ,As shown in these views, the

device is her with its limbs bent at rightangles and extending upwardly to formthe horizontal part 1 which is of substantially U shape, and the pair of uprights 2, the lower ends of which are connected with the limbs of the horizontal part'and a V'-shaped part '8 has its upper ends connected with theupper ends of the uprights by the loop portions 4. Thus it will be seen that the parts 2,3and 4 can be 4o placed over the spare tire, as shown in Figure 1, with the uprights in front of the tire,

formed of a substantially yoke-shaped mem apex of the part 3 and said strap is adapted to pass around the lower part of the tire and have its perforated other end engage with the buckle 6 which is connected with the central part of the cross piece of the U-shaped part 1, this strap acting to hold the device on the tire. i

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may bemade in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A device of the class described comprisinga U-shaped horizontal part, an upright connected with each limb of the U-shaped part, a V-shaped part and loop parts connect- 7 ing the limbs of the VV-shaped part with the upper ends of the uprights whereby the upper portion of the device can be placed over a spare tire of a motor vehicle and means for connecting the device to the tire. I

2. A device of the class described comprising a U-shaped horizontal part, an upright connected with each limb of the U-shaped part, a V-shaped part and loop parts connecting the limbs of the V-shaped part with the upper ends of the uprights whereby the upper portion of the device can be placed over a spare tire of a motor vehicle, a strap. j connected with the apex of the V-shaped part and -a buckle on the crosspiece of the U--'85 shaped part for receivingthe other end of the strap. r In testimony whereof I affix my signature HENRY L. SGHOLL.

the part Sin rear of the tire and the loop i parts 4: passing overthe upper portion-of the treadpart of the tire. Thus the device 5 is supported on the tire, with the part 1 extending horizontally from the tirejso that a trunk or the like can be placed on this} horizontal part and suitably fastened by" straps or the like to the device.v
